Brazilian Steak Joint With a Great Burger? Who Knew?

Brazilian steak joints aren't supposed to have great burgers. Meat on sticks, yes. Endless salad bars, sure. But Zed451, that slick-looking Mizner Park restaurant with mixed reviews, has one fantastic burger. Here's how they get there:

1. The toasted and buttered brioche bun is light and fluffy enough so you can mush it down for your first bite. It has a sweetness that provides a nice complement to what's coming.

2. The fried onion strings are crunchy, salty, and well-seasoned. What more should

they be?

3. Bread and butter pickles aren't what you expect on a slider, but these provide a nice crunch in the center of it all.

4.

Zed451 makes its burgers from pan-seared chopped steak, so you get

fairly large chunks of beef within the burger. It's almost more of a

steak sandwich, and there's nothing bad about that.
